When October Ends

It seems that the trend with my posts is towards the end of the month. It's just coincidence. So what's new? Um I recently got contact lenses. Originally I had planned to only use them for tennis, but it's comfortable wearing them all the time - except when my eyes get dry looking at the computer screen. The maintenance of them aren't too bad either. So aside from my new look, I played terribly at pennant today. So bad. I guess I haven't been hitting nearly as much as I used to (every day). Next week I plan to hit heaps. It seems that when something goes wrong, something always comes up. Today during my singles match I was thinking to myself "Why am I so out of breath? I wasn't like this a couple of months ago" Fitness right? Well I opened all my mail sitting on my desk and this SSA flyer was in one of them, "Personal Training Packages". I wish I didn't read it because I get sucked into that type of marketing ploy real bad!

Well, tonight is going to be relatively quiet. A change since the last 3 months...haha. Just got to mix it up a bit otherwise I'll get bored.

Melbourne

This week work has sent me down to Melbourne to gain some much needed knowledge in the Microsoft environment. I quite like the course as it's very much practical and real world. I'm trying to spend some of the nights I'm here with long lost friends. Yesterday I caught up with Victor (briefly) and Tanner! We managed to squeeze a game of bowling in Prahran and I probably played my best game ever. I was telling Tanner...who would of thought, 4 years ago we'd be walking down Prahran - wouldn't it be funny if we saw someone we both knew? Chances were pretty low, he said, but as we walked out I was like NO WAY! It was Jeff Robinson hahaha! Small world I say. The place I'm staying at is very nice. I can see the city and all the lights :P I still enjoy Sydney better though, probably because I don't know my way around here. I just wish it wasn't so far away. Anyways, I'm waiting for Sli and Leah to hurry up and come get me so we can have dinner. Also on a random note, I'm listening to Christmas music (reminds us just how close it is already)...

Clearly I didn't know how to position myself to get the best view

Engagement Party and Riverina Tennis

The last week has been pretty hectic. As usual, we had the usual get together with friends but this time Pia, Jeff and Liz were in town to visit! Jeff and I had lunch with Liz and family during the day and towards the night, Jeff, Pia and I went out to Paddys before heading to One. On the Monday, Renee and Sam had their engagement party. It was quite fun and I had a lot of wine. Congrats on those two!!! The highlight of this weekend was the Wagga Wagga Tennis Tournament. I did feel I played a lot better than Griffith this time - probably because I've been playing a bit more. Andrew had a tough open draw and lost in 3 sets. We did however get to the semi's of the A grade doubles which was pretty cool! The highlight of the tournament was Andrew winning the 16's boys singles draw.
